Lollihop

Tap to rate

Dry, intensely bitter and very drinkable: Lollihop is a West Coast IPA hopped with Citra and Mosaic. Sibeeria brewed it for the first time in January 2017, and since then the hop dose has only grown, with wheat malts joining the barley in the grain bill. The brewery calls it the flagship of its IPA range and always keeps a can or two in the fridge.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes from Citra and Mosaic hops—think grapefruit zest and orange pith—layered beneath with a subtle pine resin undertone. A delicate grainy sweetness from the wheat and barley bill rounds out the profile without dominating the hop-forward character.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and dry, with assertive noble bitterness that builds through the mid-palate. The wheat malts contribute a soft, slightly creamy mouthfeel that balances the 75 IBU bite, while citrus and pine notes persist alongside a faint herbal quality. The finish is bone-dry, allowing the hop bitterness to linger without harshness.

◑ Finish

Bitterness holds the palate with impressive staying power, fading gracefully into a crisp, mineral dryness. The aftertaste remains hoppy and resinous without becoming astringent or overly fatiguing.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
